Spot on the Rynek, this is probably the most notorious club in Gliwice. Seems to be living on reputation alone however, as after receiving a proper grilling by ten sniggering doorstaffers - 2zł entry, 2zł obligatory cloakroom - we proceeded inside to find an enormous and hauntingly empty club; in fact it was a full ten minutes before someone from the door finally came and poured us a 4zł beer. Absolutely massive with lots of black lights, chrome piping and extraterrestrial textures, there are plenty of nookie nooks amongst the red booths and the dancefloor is impressively huge, but overall the dated design is hardly deserving of an award. As such, you'd have to judge it on the merits of the clinetele, who we were stood up by at 22:00 on a weeknight. We'll assume something goes down here on the right night, but given the circumstances it's hard to know if Gwardek is a proper club or a practical joke.
